GTA V In 2012? Here’s Everything We Know

360 Magazine: Can Rockstar deliver GTA V in 2012? Rumours surrounding Rockstar’s potential mega-hit GTA V have once again surfaced, as 2012 is referred to by analysts and experts as the likeliest release date.

lol even bulletstorm pc looks better than anything on consoles including gears of war 3 and uc3 so what does that tell you ? consoles have been outdated since 2006 when core 2 duo/quad and extreme cpus launched as well as the geforce 8 series gpus lol an 8800gt has more memory bandwidth graphics processing power and ram than your ENTIRE consoles and its not even the most powerful gpu of 2006. a core 2 duo(not even extreme or quad) can successfully emulate ps2 using software rendering at incredible speed and even crank up resolution to 1080p and STILL run and full speed(60fps) yet teh cell cannot even emulate its predecessor lol the ps3s with backwards compatability have the ps2s emotion engine in built they where later removed to save costs. so what does that tell you ? core 2 do> ps3 cell its only in video editing and transcoding(which the cell was designed for) that the cell can beat a core 2 duo but even with that a h a core 2 quad(not even the never i3.15,i7 nehalem or sandybridge) will destroy it. why else do you think apple took intel core 2 duo cpus over the cell and told IBM to go to hell? you think steve jobs is stupid ? look what hes done with apple lol hes obviously a very intelligent man. even the cells in the roadrunner super computers cannot be compared to the ps3 version as they are VASTLY superior in every way to the ones you have in your ps3. even the vastly superior cells where not enough to compete against amd and intel in the sever market so ibm had to come up with power6 and now the new power7 cpu. even toshiba had to replace spes with video transcoding hardware to boost performance as the spes simply weren't cutting it. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read...

Yeah, fun gameplay and an engrossing a story are meaningless if the game isnt running a 1080 res with at least 80fps. I loose so much game time on consoles as it only takes me 7.5 hours to count the pixels, I can boost my PC to such a high resolution that it takes me a week to count them all, console gamers are missing out on all this extra content. The last GTA i could see a small hair sprouting mole on Nikos neck and a full 27 freckles, the consols had not one. Now tell me why play games if you cant see these things?

Oh boy its funny how PC fan boys always brag, but did you know that based on a lot of statistics the average PC gamer doesn’t even have a good PC… Well not good enough

Anyway GTA games have always been made to play with a controller and before anyone tells me that you can on PC using the 360 controller, I’m aware of this lol.

And what about exclusives like Uncharted 3… Ya maybe it would look good on PC, but hell does it ever look great on PS3 and that’s the thing with consoles. It makes devs push limits even more then they Imagine.

PC gaming is a fucking joke with graphics cards that cost 700$ and am3+ motherboards already on the market when the AMD bulldozer isn’t even out yet. Ya for 700$ you can have a decent PC, but you know what I’m talking about… Shit like (Physx) it’s not even that special, because it’s all just software and not hardware.

And did you know that certain ATI cards from the same series are actually the same, but have some GPUs looked and then they sell them as less powerful. NVIDIA probably does the same…

Ya consoles are killing gaming… Tell that to Halo 1, tell that too God of War, tell that to Conker bad fur day N64, tell that to Medievil PS1, tell that to Super Mario… These are console games that changed gaming… But of course without PCs, consoles would not exist, but they do make some of the best games out there…

Personally I love gaming and some games are meant to be played on specific gaming devices. BF3 is made for PC, Halo is made for console and Mario is made for Nintendo

Maybe they're thinking of The Agency which is a canceled MMO that was for PS3 & PC. Sony initially wanted LA Noire but they saw Agent & paid for that instead. If Agent goes multiplat then Sony probably bought exclusive rights to GTA5 as Sony is getting an exclusive game from R*

There's no way sony's bought exclusive rights to GTA V. I don't quite know how to say this, but Sony's in 3rd place and though you love them, with all the trouble its had this gen, with the horrible launch of the PS3, the hackings that brought the PSN to its knees, we'll be lucky if Sony manage to launch a PS4 at all, let alone it eventually take the lead over Nintendo and Microsoft.

Sony is, as we speak, overtaking the Xbox more and more. These problems are the past, now we look forward to the mass of great exclusives coming and the better versions of Battlefield 3, Deus Ex: Humand Revolution and also BioShock Infinite, just to name a few. I, however, agree, that GTA V won't be exclusively released for any platform. Probably the PC will get it last, but that's nothing unusual these days.

@ Obernerd Man I hate to sound like a fanboy, but dude the almighty giant of gaming "The Sony Playstaion" brand, about to catch the newcomer MS after the disaster that was the original Xbox followed closely by the RROD is really nothing to brag about. I know I'll get stomped into the ground on this site for what I’m about to say, but it's the truth. No matter how you flip it, MS pretty much kicked Sony teeth out this generation. The fact Sony has had to play catch up at all, even with launching a year behind the 360, is a giant victory for MS. Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not saying Sony did bad at all. I love my PS3, just like I love my 360, 3DS, Wii, DS, PSP, and soon to be Vita, but if you look past you bias, and see the facts, MS came up this gen, and like it or not Sony lost its total domination of the market, that truthfully NIN reclaimed. Like I said before, I am not bashing Sony, or trying to defend MS, I am just calling it like it IS. You talk about Sony steadily selling more and gaining ground, but honestly I don’t know one person who would have predicted last gen that these companies would be in this situation now, especially if you told them about the hardware problems of the 360. Do you? The good thing about it is that it has created awesome competition between the two, and we as gamers benefit. Look at this year in gaming. A Halo remake, Gears 3, UN3, a new Elder Scrolls, BF3, a new Deus Ex, a new Legend of Zelda, I mean the list goes on, and on. That is freaking awesome if you ask me. I own all consoles so I don’t have to miss any of these (at least not because of only owning certain consoles, but maybe because of money), and I am loving it, but come on man there is really no need or reason to be bragging about Sony’s performance this gen. Brag about their awesome games, or thier awesome tech, but there is really nothing about thier market share to brag about, period.

Obernerd: Except the PS3 isn't overtaking the 360 as we speak, at least not in sales. The 360 is still selling consistently more each month according to NPD sales figures. Not to sound like a fanboy, just gettin' people's facts straight.
